** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apt , ubiquity
  
  see PNG file that i attach
  
  when installing when it gets to configering apt, If it cant get an list
  of updates when installing with No internet, it removes All all download
  sources/repositories and update repositories/sources it should Never
  turn off the updates
  
  its done this in Ubuntu and Kubuntu
  
  allso the Network manager should allways Look for an IP address from
  DHCP as i have to click offline and back to Online to get it from
  0.0.0.0 IP address some times when in side VMware
  
- i have tested inside an VMware box with network disconnected this bug

+ i have tested inside an VMware box with network disconnected this bug has 
only happend in 7.10 not 7.04 and lower 
+ --
  i have now allso tested this problem on an Live PC with the network cable 
Unpluged and it does the same thing
  
  i have marked this as an security vulnerability but its more it Can make an 
security vulnerability 
  if the user does not know how to turn them back on thay never get updates 
(check for update says no new updates)
+ 
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------
+ for users who do not know how to fix this untill thay bring out ubuntu 7.10 1
+ goto System > Admin > software sources 
+ 
+ 1 tick all boxs apart form source code (do not think norm users need that)
+ 2 Pick your Download From server location (as it picks main server by default 
click on search if you cant see one for you)
+ 3 goto updates and tick the first 2 options
+ 4 [Optional] change the auto up date check to [Download all updates in 
background] (asmuing you do not have an hard disk that is very small its an 
better option so your ready to install when you are ready) 
+ do not recommend auto install with out confirmation as it may not wait for 
all updates to be install when shuting down the pc, as it make brake your box
